Sir, - I would like to correct, if I may, something you wrote in your editorial of August 21st. The clothing industry is anything but a low-skill one. An operator on a sewing machine receives no help from the machine; he or she is in complete command. You may, or may not, have seen the Fruit of the Loom workers on television; you will never see workers in another industry work as fast.As I have already written to your paper, the IDA was wrong to put plants like the Fruit of the Loom in an area where they had to draw their workers from a great distance. Irish workers are as good as workers anywhere in the world; but they could be very bad timekeepers. That is, if you let them. I am not surprised that there are changes in the persons running that particular plant.I was commissioned some years ago by Udaras na Gaeltachta to do a survey on its textile division. At the end of the day, I was told they were only civil servants, and they did not know what I was talking about, - Yours, etc.,Jack Toohey,Costelloe,Co Galway.
